Tips for buying Colonoscope

When purchasing a
colonoscope, facilities should consider the following two main factors
(which are highly subjective): image quality and ease-of-use. Buyers are
encouraged to use each flexible endoscope system on a trial basis to allow
physicians' input before purchase.

All colonoscope controls
should be clear and easy to operate.

All colonoscopes should be
clearly marked with depth-of-insertion markers no more than 10 cm apart.
Marked position should be accurate to within 1.0 cm to help the physician
in evaluating the location of the structures under view. The dimensions of
the flexible endoscopes may vary, especially between adult and pediatric
models.

Facilities are encouraged
to acquire colonoscopes that are compatible with a variety of video
processors and light sources. This can help in reducing expenses when
replacing a component in the endoscope/processor/light source chain.

It is recommended that colonoscopes
be compatible with as many reprocessing agents and devices as possible.
Before purchasing an colonoscope, facilities should check compatibility
between the endoscope and an automatic endoscope reprocessor.
